[quote=Anonymous]I am a female Yale grad. Overall, the downsides are pretty minimal and I met my amazing husband at Yale, so I have no regrets. I do feel like I ended up in grad school and getting a PHD because that was the expected route and so many of my friends were getting a PHD. I think if I had gone to a different school, I might have felt that there were more paths open to me. I sometimes imagine a different me who relaxed more when I was younger and because a preschool teacher (which I would have loved and been really good at). But, I have way more financial and personal security as a college professor married to a Big Law partner than I would as a preschool teacher. Coming from a MC background, I don’t underestimate the benefits of my choices. I do hope that my kids, who have a much bigger safety net than I did, will be a little more free with their choices and pursue something that they really love. [/quote]
